Branch details at a glance

Why every AU Small Finance Bank Limited branch has a unique IFSC

Before electronic settlement systems went live in India, money transfers between banks relied heavily on demand drafts, mail transfers and telegraphic transfers. These older instruments routinely took days to clear and were prone to misrouting because there was no single machine-readable identifier for a branch. The Reserve Bank of India solved this by issuing each participating branch — including FAFADIH CHOWK RAIPUR of AU Small Finance Bank Limited — its own 11-character IFSC. The code AUBL0002338 is therefore not just an internal reference; it is the digital postcode that lets the RBI's NEFT, RTGS and IMPS rails route funds straight to the right branch ledger without any human intervention.

Today, almost every salary credit, vendor payment, refund and EMI deduction in the country flows through this network, which is exactly why a correct IFSC matters so much. A wrong character can either bounce the transfer or send it to the wrong branch, and reversing such a credit is a manual, time-consuming process. Treat IFSC AUBL0002338 the same way you would treat your account number — verify it once and save it carefully for future use.

MICR code & cheque clearing

Apart from IFSC, every cheque book issued by AU Small Finance Bank Limited carries a 9-digit MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code that is read by cheque-sorting machines. The MICR code, the IFSC AUBL0002338 and the account number together uniquely identify the Fafadih Chowk Raipur branch and your account. The MICR for this branch is printed at the bottom of your cheque leaves.

UPI payments and IFSC AUBL0002338

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.
